Okay, to start from the beginning:
Last summer, I got really depressed and started fighting depression (not many peopl knew about it though). I have fought with depression for about a year now. I take Anti-depression meds. I don't have any, at the moment.
A few hours ago, I nearly went suicidal, But i stopped my self. but I have been having suicidal thoughts, and the urge to just end my life to make this world a better place.
I feel like it wouldn't matter to many people at all if i wasn't here, half the people who claim to be my friends, just end up screwing me up in the end, or hurting me.
I need some prayer that I can get through this right now, and hopefully I can get more anti-depression meds soon, should take about a month if they come in on time.
Please pray. Thanks. *sighs*

Just needing prayer
Footprints in the sand by Carolyn Joyce Carty
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of foot prints in the sand: one belonging to him the other to the lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the foot prints in the sand.
He noticed that name times along the path of his life there was only one set o footprints.
He also noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the lord about it:
"lord, you said once i decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But i have noticed during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of foot prints. I dont understand why when i needed you most you would leave me."
The lord replied:
"My son, my precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that i carried you."

Please don't think that! This world would not be a better place without you! Why would you think of killing yourself? Do you know how much people would miss you if you killed yourself? You matter to me so much, you don't even know how much. Please don't do it! I'll DEFINATELY be praying for you.
You wish you could shred like me.

Praying for you, girl. Standing where you are now, it may be hard to see that this time in your life is only temporary and passing where as God's plan for you is forever. If you were to end it now, that would not be temporary. All the people you may have touched during your life time would be affected as well as your family and friends. Sometimes when we get depressed, our own mindset more than the actions of others makes us fall into thinking "they don't care about me" or become hyper-sensitive to comments/actions not intended to hurt. It's easy to fall into a victim kind of mindset that only makes things worst.
The best thing to do is just to let go, take a deep breath, and give yourself some time off to get outside, go for a walk, pray, read a good book (Bible works... ^___^), listen to some music, talk with someone about what you're feeling and just release some of the anxiety. Even if your life seems busy, make time to do it.
I don't mean to pry since it's really none of my business, but you're awfully young to be on anti-depressants. Those things are really serious and can cause neurological damage if not taken properly or for an extreme case. I don't really have the grounds to suggest this since I'm sure you've probably talked to a doctor or someone before taking them and know all about the dosage/ect, but I'd reccomend trying some natural mood altering solutions (exercise, prayer, healthy eating, getting more sleep) and step away from the meds if at all possible in your circumstance.
Again, praying for ya.

Yeah, don't think of suicide. It would cause more harm than good, I promise you. Do what USSRgirl has suggested. And if you ever want to vent or just ask again for prayer, don't hesitate to do so.

Hey sis,
I went through depression and suicide too for seven years. *hugs I know its hard to see any light at the end of the tunnel for this but know that God has you here for a purpose, he certaintly wants you to complete it and have joy and peace in your life!!!
However, asking for prayer is an awesome first step to fighting depression...it will never leavev (at least mine hasn't maybe your's will *smile) but you can fight it and with God's strength overcome it!
Praying for ya sis. PM if you need anything!

I also second USSRgirl's suggestions. Remember that there are people who do love you very much and would be heartbroken if you were gone.
Isaiah 43 has been very helpful to me --especially back when I was fighting suicidal thoughts myself.
May God be your refuge during this time. I'll definitely be praying for you.

Okay things have been up and down lately. I sometimes feel like I'm getting better, and then something always sets me off, and I get mad, upset, or depressed.
Last night something happened in my family that shouldn't have happened, and it has kind of got me stressed out a little. Last night my family was informed that my sister husband killed my sister, I really don't know the whole story at the moment nor do i really want to know the whole story. But it has got my family depressed and angry. Jason (my sisters husband) is in jail. My sister's children are not taking this well at all, they are only 10 years, 4 years, and 3 months. Right now Micheal (ten years) and christian (4 years) are living with my other sister, and charity (3 months) is living with me.
It would be nice if you could pray for my family, since we are all really in bad shape right now. Thanks, That would be great, I'll update soon if i know any thing else.

Things go from good to bad to worse.
Lately, I'll start out the day good, and by the end of it be depressed. I don't know why that is. I just wish that it would end. *sighs*

This pain you are feeling is harsh, but it will be used for the glory of God. Have faith in God, and when He drives you through this situation in victory, you will have a truly glorious testimony of the power of God. You will also be able to help others because God first helped you.
I have an example of this. I did not know Christ until God lead me through twelve years of depression. If I did not go through that I would never have believed in Christ. I wouldn't have any reason to, in my mind. During most of that time I didn't even give Him a second thought. But now I have eternal life and I'm here telling you, truthfully and with confidence, that God loves you and so do I because God first loved both you and me. (read John 3:16 over and over again)
Please do not believe the lie that the world would be a better place without you. That's definitely something the devil would say. Not only does he not care about you, but he hates the One who loves you - namely God - and everything He stands for. I love reading 1 John 4:7-12 when I need to be reminded of God's characteristics. Please read it often. I know it will help you.

Aw... That's too bad. 
At least your boyfriend was there to help you.
Still praying. I really hope the Lord pulls you through this.

Today was not a good day. I found out my boyfriend was leaving me for a little while next week and it made me sad, but at work I kept getting like a little voice in my head saying things like "he doesn't love you. that's why he's leaving." "he wants to hang out with another girl in ohio." and stuff like that and it made me really sad and upset, so I told the lady i was gonna go straighten up the back, and buzz me when she needed me. I went to the back and i grabbed the knife off the shelf and dropped to my knees, and held the blade to my wrist, and was going to cut myself and then something like snapped inside me, and I threw the knife over the the side, and cried harder then ever, and next thing i know, I'm on my knees praying, when I haven't prayed for a long time. I don't even know if god was hearing my prayer but after sitting there for like 10 mins just praying I felt a little better. and was able to ignore the voice in my head.
I almost lost it tonight, I'm glad i didn't. Thank you for your prayers, but please continue to pray, considering what happened tonight, I could have taken to the extreme where I was planning on going in my head.

He also noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the lord about it:
"lord, you said once i decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But i have noticed during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of foot prints. I dont understand why when i needed you most you would leave me."
The lord replied:
"My son, my precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that i carried you."
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of foot prints in the sand: one belonging to him the other to the lord.

SIs,
Satan wants to rob us of joy. This life is not the end!!! Do not look at the things you can see, but look at the unseen. When we are in our darkest valley, The Lord here's our cries and reaches out. Always He is there. But Satan doesn't want you to see it that way because that will make you a captive.
Sis, If your mother and father and you sister and brother and everyone abandon you, even if that was to happen (which it never will cuz you got family on here ^_^) GOD would still be there for you!!!
I know that a period in my life when I had no one....no sister, no mother, no family, no father and no friends. That was the hardest part of my life...but God was still with me. Seek Him and forcus on loving him. Everything else will fall into place.
I'll continue praying ofr you my sister. Do not lose hope for God sent his son to suffer and to die for you. Remember that because everything else in this life means nothing in comparison.
PM if you need anything and May the Lord Bless you.
O yea, also...do not be afriad to ask for help from those closest. The Lord will show you who can help...do not close your heart. Love ya sis

Phew.... That was so close. I'm glad you're still alive. Look, if you haven't told anyone already, tell them about your problem and ask for help or counselling or something. I mean someone in the real world, of course. Your family, friends, anybody.
I'm still praying for you, okay? Don't give up.

Michelle, I thank the Lord God that you did not give in. I believe that He was the one who stopped you from cutting yourself. I'm praying for you. Please, do NOT give up. Suicide may seem like the alternative that will please everyone, but it will please no one, aside from the Devil.
When you feel weak and think that there is nothing left for you, trust in the Lord. The Lord will reward you for your struggles, but only if you overcome them. Committing suicide will mean losing the battle and letting the Devil win. You will always have my support and prayers as long as you are struggling. If you ever need anything, feel free to PM me.
God bless you, and remember, you have your brothers and sisters in Christ praying for you.

Shelly, I'm still praying for you. I know that I haven't posted here in a while, but that doesn't mean that I have stoped. Please remember this, God wants you to live on. Sometimes things seem so hopeless that it's enough to make you want to die. Thats the last thing that you want to happen. If God didn't want us to live on, he wouldn't have made friends, and since thats not the case, I hope that you'll hang on, I really hope and pray with all my heart that you will not give into the lies of the enemy. Also, remember that some things are not what they seem. The Devil uses this tactic at times to tear lifes apart, and cause what almost hapend to you. Please stay strong.
Still praying. -Sparx

okay, so my mom figured out that something wasn't right with me lately, so she talked to my aunt that lives in michigan, and then my aunt called me and asked me if I wanted to come and visit her for a few days, and I said sure, since it was about the same span of time that my boyfriend was going to ohio, so I'm slightly happy I'm going to be doing stuff to keep my mind off my boyfriend, for about a week. I still feel depressed at times. Thanks for the prayers and advice. I have prayed every night since the day i almost lost it. Thanks for the prayers and advice again. Please continue since i really don't know when the next time I'll have another episode.
Footprints in the sand by Carolyn Joyce Carty
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of foot prints in the sand: one belonging to him the other to the lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the foot prints in the sand.
He noticed that name times along the path of his life there was only one set o footprints.
He also noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the lord about it:
"lord, you said once i decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But i have noticed during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of foot prints. I dont understand why when i needed you most you would leave me."

I'm still praying for you. You can PM me if you'd like as well.
I'm so happy that you did not end your life and I know it was God who stepped in to stop you. It sounds similar to my experience in the past and I know it was God who stopped me from ending my life. All of us were praying for you beforehand - and we still are - so let's use this episode as a testimony of faith that prayer does work.
Also, God (and I) wants you to make your relationship with Him the most important of all your relationships, and the relationship to base all of your other ones on. One of the things that fed my depression in the past was that I didn't have a girlfriend although I desperatley wanted one. This fact pushed me over the edge more than once. I just want you to be careful. It sounds like your boyfriend cares for you a lot, but he is still human. God is the only One who will neither leave you nor forsake you. As David speaks in Psalm 16:
"I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing." -Psalm 16:2
"I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken." -Psalm 16:8
May the peace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you now and forever.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. - James 1:2-4.
Remember - the Lord will be with you - always.

okay. . . after getting here in Newberry Michigan, I feel very alone. There is no one here I know. I feel like i don't belong here at all.
Another reason is, My boyfriend everytime I call refuses to pick up the phone then texts me and says he'll call me later. It really fustrates me.
I feel like I don't belong here, and also no one from home will talk to me. I feel totally alone. It frustrates me, and annoys me, and makes me sad, and scared.
Please pray that i can get over how i feel.

That kind of situation drives me bonkers. I pray that someone familiar will make contact of some kind.

I can't take it any more.
I'm ready to just dissapear and have no one find me, or just kill my self and be done with it. I'm tired of being treated like i don't exsist or treated like a freak. All people seem to think about lately is themselves no one else. My dad in particular.
I called my house to check up on my mom, as i said i would, and my dad was there. Well he answered the phone, and started yelling at me because i apparently never told him i was going to michigan. Which i had, cause him and my mom had talked about letting me go. He kept complaining because nothing in the house was going to get done, if i didn't do it. And he was really really angry at me for leaving. so he put me in a bad mood. He also said in our conversation that I was the defiant child, and that i should have never been born. (story, my parents never wanted a child they did "it" and had me, and i was never meant to be) So I ended up getting really mad and hanging up on him, and leaving my aunts house and walking around the town on a badly sprained ankle (went on moolight hike, twisted it in a hole, and something snapped) so yeah, not my best of days.
Please pray that my dad gets over what ever his problem is. He always says stuff like that. and it really hurts. I feel like just walking to the lake that isn't far from here, and jumping in and never resurfacing.
